(UP) — Out of a niansion and . into the Spring sunshine came man and woman yesterday, their hands linked as. though symbolic of a romance destined for tlie history: books.

Their brief visit to England had been marri'd by another snub from Queen Mother Mary on her 8.1!!» birthday. Still it was Sprini; and they were on their way to Prant:c. The former King Edward VUI and the American woman for w,hom he gave up his throne came here from the United States ostensibly i to transact private business. Some I believed their visit really was In the hope of a reconciliation \vich the Hoyal family. That hope—H It ever existed — was crushed May 20 when the Queen Mother in a long interview with the Duke made it clear she would never accept the former Wal- lls jwarfield of nallhnorc while her views prevailed in the royal Kmilly.

It was almost impossible to squeeze feven around the small gate-leg^od table in the sitting-room, the table with the wobbly leg that Charme had wangled out of Mrs. Burgess, but Flora managed H somehow. I remenibqr that we had a steak, a big,; thick, luscious steak, because Flora laughed that the steal: was her Christmas present to Bob; the poor darling so loved steak, and she ied him most of the time on chopped meat and stews. . The flat was gay with holly and greens, and there was a tiny tree on the table. Flora \vore the pale yellow frock she had made for my supper tinnce, with a small frilly apron and a blue bow in her hair. Father told her she looked good enough to eat. Flora said: "In this old dress? You know I look a fright." Bob rownert, and Flora adcted quickly, "md I thought £ trifle maliciously: l But T honestly don't care, since 3obby actually prefers me. in old clothes. If I wore nigs he'd think I was beautiful." There was a sense of slram during the ctUivc evening, I think -hat Flora was upset because AnnabelIe lind a new drrra, a earning bronxe satin wil>i touches oC gold embroidery. I (.old myself that Flora was lived, that she had overworked on the diuner. At our places were funny litlle giils, elaborately wrapped and tied. Cousin Sam's, I remember, was a minute Sanla Clans. When he unwrapped it, Flora cried out thai Sam hnd been a regular SaiHa Clans to her and Bob by giving them Ihnl wonderful -stove. She paid she always liacl Hated to cook one never had cooked until she got married. Now that she "Had to get her own nnd Hob's meals three times a day, 3G5 -days ; year, she never could hnvc horm it without that miraculous stove which practically tliri the work nl by its darling self. Bob glowered ind Cousin Sam looked vmcom- lortnblc. We were nil ill at case. * * * [ SAW little of Flora thai vacation except at pnvMcs, as slic spent most of her time at her mother's. [ noticed that she bod two new evcning^dresses, a white lace and a gold-ribbed silk. Of course I did not know that she had bought the dresses in Binghnmlon on credit. Neither did Bob know until three months later,- \vheu the Binghamton store sent him a nasty note. Bob was furious. Flora had led him to believe that she had inarle the dresses with Anniibeltc's help nt the cost of a dollar or two, and Flora \vas aggrieved that he took it as a matter of conr.se that she should wear out her old clothes. They had a dreadful and wounding quarrel, Bob managed somehow- to pay for the dresses, but He sternly ommandctl Flora to cJose every hanje account and pay for cvery- tiinfj Jn cash. Bob turned over radically all his salary to Flora o manage sis best she could. That, f course, was n mistake. As we aid in Otsego, Flora had butter infers. She soon reopened her •barge accounts on the sly. What ;lse could she do? she Inter said n excuse. They hnd to eat. By Thursday, sometimes Wednesday, he pittance Bob gave her was all jonc. Bobby was a dear, but an imeasonablc dear. He expected niracloa. U never worried Bob bat his own wife had holes in her shoes and no proper winter coat, but he would have a lit if he was mi mile Inte with his allowance his mo the r.

The marriage lasted just n year, They ciuarrclcd, made up, and went on like Uuil until Hob took lo Urink- ng and lost his job. Flora man- n«cd to sublet the little flat furnished for $30 a month and went home (o her mother, while Bob returned to Mrs. Finneran, This was the July of 1914. Father ancl I were in Europe, ending the three months' tour that was my graduation presetit. We spent nost of July in England and Scot- ami. On August first we were in ork. I was wakened very early i the morning of August second >y the sound of a drum. I fp and went to the window. Down, he street came a white-haired old nail in a cocked hat who was scaling-on a drum. "Wake up, ye Englishmen. War! Wtir! War!" he cried over and over In n loud voice. "Wake up, ye Englishmen. War! War! War!" It never occurred to me that a European war could in any way concern Flora and Hob. How could it? They were 3000 miles away. But when Father and I finally got home in the autumn I learned lhal lion Finueran had gone ti Canada and enlisted in the Canadian army. Flora was visiting in New Jersey and v/as suing there for a divorce on the grounds of desertion and non-support, (To Be Continued) Plants which ;uq sources of foo:l for wildfowl ana thus tire worth planting include smart weeds, \u!d cluck millet, chufas, widgeon Kru.iS, | wild celery, wild rice, bulrush is, ] arrow-loaf, spikc-ni.sh "You know how my parents pry into all my affairs— that's why 1 enjoy those ritles on the subway where we can be alone! 1 ' KKtfCKLES & TUB FRIENDS ^y MERRILL KLOSSER ~i rubble Rules Again f\ River Sand and Gravel Delivered to You Call A.
